Well, I have to say that there are a lot of 'sporting hero' biographies out that I would not touch with a barge pole - Frank Lampard? No chance. Lawrence Dallaglio? too self-serving for words. Therefore, it was with slight trepidation that I picked this up only to have any lingering doubts blown away by the candid, honest & illuminating account within its pages.
Although there is plenty of information about JPs life & career, it is his analysis which makes it stand apart from the norm. Despite not having the status he deserves as a genuine champion with international honours & recognition, this book helps to put across the real Rugby League, & not that sneered at as a minority sport by the London-centric media.
Top stuff - surely the sport biography of the year.
